Etymology
The specific epithet “ serrana ” is a reference to the type-locality, in the Ventania hills system in the southwestern portion of Buenos Aires province, Argentina.
Phylogenetic relationships
Dasyhelea serrana is closely related to the clade ( D.pseudolacustris ( D.andensis , D. carlae , D. lacustris , D. macfiei )). This clade is supported by the synapomorphy: “posteromedian projection of female subgenital plate” [character 27 (1)].
Remarks
The pupa is similar to that of D.pseudolacustris . Characters to distinguish pupae of both species may be found in the discussion under the description of the D. pseudolacustris .
